” So why if i don’t look sick on the outside,
do i feel as my insides are been ripped apart ? ”
People who suffer with that dreadful hidden illness, IBS, will always talk of the excruciating abdominal pain and cramping, felt at the onset of the condition. If that wasn’t bad enough that abdominal pain is then followed by severe constipation, followed by severe diarrhea.
It would be be a real challenge to have to deal with one of the above conditions, but to be faced with all three of them in a short space of time! now that is a real challenge and its of no great surprise to me that the IBS can really effect the quality of life of a person suffering with the condition.
Then theres the fatigue caused by lack of sleep due to the suffering with cramps in the tummy at night or by having to spend so much time in the bathroom with diarrhea.
Total loss of appetite,leading to weight loss.
People suffering with IBS may really find it difficult to leave the safety of their homes. They will always need access to a toilet, that will always be their first concern. So everyday activities eg, work, driving long distance, sporting activites may have to be put on hold, until the person starts to feel better again.
While there is no specific cause of the condition, it is now felt that people who suffer with IBS have a colon that is more sensitive and reactive to certain foods and stress.
Reflexology is an excellent and highly effective therapy in the treatment of IBS.
During a reflexology treatment three key areas can be worked on which will help to greatly reduce the symptoms of IBS.
The reflex areas of the
Large bowel, ( helping reduce constipation)
Small bowel,( diarrhea, helping to calm down an overactive area) without causing any discomfort to an area that can sometimes feel really tender.
Pituitary and Adrenal glands will then be worked on to help reduce stress throughout the body.
Dealing with food intolerances, i feel can be acheived over a period of time,
It may be a period of trial and error but overall i feel it can be achevied with some patience.
